The Old Original
Some products stand the test of time. Vaseline is surely one of them. Highly recommended!

The Duke's Final Bow
John Wayne made many, many Western films. We all have our favorites. Certainly "Stagecoach", "The Searchers", "True Grit" and several others stand at the top of the list. In my opinion, "The Shootist" is his best of all. Wayne's acting is in top form. The story about an old gunfighter dying of cancer hits home. Wayne himself was on his way across The Great Divide from his own cancer at that time. This knowledge gives the viewer an added emotional dimension, and I believe, evokes a heartfelt performance from this great Hollwood icon. It was truly a fitting end to a long and popular career.

Beautiful (in more ways than one) Pianist
I first became acquainted with Valentina Igoshina by her performance in the film "Harvest of Sorrow", the story of Rachmaninoff. Her playing is beautiful in all respects. She displays great dynamism as well as a sincere emotional feeling for the music. As we know, music consists of little ink marks on a piece of paper. The artist then makes come to life. Mme. Igoshina makes it a most wonderful experience. The Schumann Carnival is a joy. The Mousorgsky never falters and comes to a sweeping climax.
Highly recommended!
